Jag E-Type Seller is a Glass Half-Full Kind of Guy
/
When I was a kid, one of my biggest joys was when the family would make a trek to the store where I could buy a new car model. I preferred the Revell models, but Monogram had some good ones too. While I pine for those days sitting at the dining room table- spread with…

/
Cars and trucks keep getting more and more complicated, but one maintenance job that has remained fairly easy and within the scope of the amateur wrencher is the oil change. As long as you have a level spot, a pan and a jack stand, you can change out the Texas tea with little drama. But…

Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions: Part 2 – The Camshaft
/
A traditional gasoline engine needs a mixture of air and fuel to create combustion inside the individual cylinder chambers (be they numbered 4, 6, 8, or 3 if you drive a DamnElantra®). If you simply let in a bunch of air and an Inland Empire Meth Lab amount of fuel, your car would first go…
